Get Out and Get Active at Wolf Lake

Mayor Thomas M. McDermott, Jr. and the Hammond Port Authority are proud to announce the details of fitness and recreational opportunities at Wolf Lake.

Kids can join the Wolf Pack Kids Fitness Club. Have fun. Get fit. Earn prizes. Kids 12 and under are encouraged to participate in our new Fitness Club. Earn paw prints by attending and participating in our Cal Strider Run/Walk Group and/or Family Fitness Class. One class equals one paw print. Four paw prints earns a free session of play at the Aquatic Play Center at Wolf Lake! Once you redeem your filled Wolf Pack Card at the Splash Pad, head to another class to start earning your next session. You could splash for free all summer! Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Join the Calumet Region Striders for running groups on the new Wolf Lake Trails. The Cal Striders group meets weekly on Thursdays 6 pm in front of the Pav. This group is FREE and open to the public. All levels of ability are encouraged to participate.

Look what’s new! We’ve added a FREE Family Fitness Class! Join Celina at the Wolf Lake Greenhouse on Mondays starting June 6th at 6:30 pm for a new way for families to get fit together! You’ll shake, hop, and dance up a sweat, all while spending time with your little ones.

Yoga is back at Wolf Lake! FREE yoga classes with Heather will be held Wednesdays at the Wolf Lake Greenhouse at 6 pm. Weekly Saturday classes begin on June 4 at 9 am.
